Great Metal Detecting Simulator Made by Up and Coming Developer
Ben Wiest is a 16 year old aspiring game developer from Wisconsin. Ben sure did good with this game, and I would like to see more from him. The game I am talking about is a game made by Ben called "Detector Island: A Metal Detecting Game".
(Here is a handy link):
As I played this game there were a few aspects that I were most impressed with. For one, being able to purchase metal detector upgrades and skins with points was a great idea! Second, and this may just be a personal thing, exploring the terrain of the map was so enjoyable, especially climbing.
I got to speak with Ben, and learned some about him and his motivation for the game, this is what I learned:
"I started working on Detector Island after coming up with the idea to make a metal detecting game, with it being snowy outside and not being able to go detecting in real life, as it’s a fun pass time of mine. It’s my second ever game and I’m pretty proud of how it turned out, it was a good 7 months of working on it…
